Alternative Method: Buying Materials

If farming seems tedious, all materials (except Miranium and Ouroboros Crystals) can be purchased from the Material Market for 4,325 Material Tickets.

Crafting the Amdusias Hades

Once you have all the materials:

Go to Armory Alley in New Los Angeles.

Speak to the AM Manager.

Navigate to Skell Frames in the "Develop New Gear" menu.

Select the Amdusias Hades (7th option from the top).

Why the Amdusias Hades is Worth It

• High durability – Can withstand heavy attacks from superbosses.
• Massive damage output – Ideal for endgame Tyrant fights.
• Customizable weapon slots – Equip it with G-Busters, Phoenix weapons, or Diskbombs for maximum destruction.

Final Tips
